“Humble” by Kimmel; Flea from a Dorchester -Bordell

“It was a guy in Dorchester, it was a three-deck house,” said Leno. “I think the girls were on the second and third floor. So I go in, I sit down, and all men with a bucket are lunch, you know, three -day growth,” said Leno and rubbed the chin.

“These boys are on their way home, their wife doesn’t know they are there, you know, they have lunch. They just try to get in and out very quickly, do you know?”

Leno chuckled when he told how he was received there.

“So the guy thought that was a wonderful entertainment for these boys,” he said with a laugh. “Hey, we have a comedian!”

“I start, (and) a man says: ‘Hey, come out of here!'”

Leno took this as his signal to leave.

“I just ran away,” said Leno. “I just ran away.”

Leno also brought another memorable moment out of his career, which took place in 2010 when he came back to organize “Tonight Show” after Conan O’Brien had gone, and Jimmy Kimmel appeared on the show and made fun of Leno.

“When Kimmel came to my show and humiliated me on my own show, I let it happen. I didn’t work on it,” said Leno. “It was my mistake, I trusted someone. I went: ‘Ah, I made a mistake. Okay, I should pay for the price.’ And it’s okay, it’s fine.

Bensinger asked: “Why didn’t you do it?”

“Well because it happened,” said Leno. “It is real, it happened. It’s my mistake. That’s how you learn, do you know?”

“Did you see it as a mistake or is this good TV?” Asked Bensinger.

“Well, it’s not a good television for me, because it has just started something that continues to this day,” said Leno. “But it’s okay, everything is fine. He is a comic – you do what you have to do. I mean, I wouldn’t have done it, but that’s okay. That’s fine. It’s okay. It’s what it is.”
